Cypher: Lord of the Fallen (Warhammer 40,000) [Hardcover] French, John

Product Information

There Guilliman would have rotted away, had not Cypher, escorted by the Harlequin Shadowseer Sylandri Veilwalker, agreed to free Guilliman in return for his promise to allow the Fallen Angel an audience with the Emperor once they had reached Terra. Then they take their deliberate first shots at the forces of the Imperium, directly destroying AA emplacements. The depths of their commitment is demonstrated by a pilot deliberately self-destructing to destroy evidence. Never mind that if any fragment remains, there is going to be an institution on Terra that can sniff it out. Instead of ambushing Cipher, Malachi walks right into Herakkon. Because it went just as planned. Cipher's plan. He knew that specific Fallen hated him and the Imperium and only followed the Sword, which Cipher at the time did not have. He knew his mind was being scryed. He knew that Fallen would betray him. So he fed the Custodes to the Unforgiven.

During this entire time, Cypher and friends are chilling, being analyzed for all they know and are even thinking. We are introduced to the Doomscryer, another variant of Super Psyker the Imperium maintains. One that can walk in the footsteps of a Custodes and talk directly at elevated Assassins. Escovan Campaign (989.M41) - Little is known about this series of events, except that following several bloody battles the Red Corsairs vowed to slay Cypher. Flame, hammer and blood – so is meteoric iron worked, so were the Heavenfall Blades tempered. So too shall I test the Unforgiven."Zatu has an excellent range of games and for most of them the best prices too. Delivery is always fast and I have never received a game in bad condition. 10/10 would recommend. To better understand at least part of the mystery of Cypher, one must first know the tale of the Dark Angels. To outsiders, this is an insurmountable quest, for the Dark Angels Chapter hides its secrets well, masking all activities in a shroud of ritual and clandestine operations. Indeed, even amongst their own Chapter, only the company masters and most distinguished veterans -– the self-styled Inner Circle –- are privy to the truth.

Liberation of Amadis (976.M41) - Cypher makes an appearance during the final battle of the liberation of Amadis, arriving in time to rally the last few defenders in the face of Chaos Cultist wave assaults. Only a single trooper from the planetary defence force survives and he swears an oath to the mysterious robed stranger never to reveal the truth of what has happened, never to mention the rogue Space Marine's presence. When the lone survivor greets the Dark Angels as they arrive to mop up the remaining foes, he does not mention his mysterious saviour. Across the galaxy the Fallen set planets, systems or even whole sectors ablaze with war. Yet more ominously to the Dark Angels, they raved aloud of those very secrets that the Sons of Lion El'Jonson had sworn to keep silent. Those Fallen carried on from the teachings of Luther -– believing the Emperor to be false and thinking that their own superhuman abilities gave them the right to seize what they wanted, and to rule over the weak. The Fallen saw no reason not to fight for themselves. It offered a better fate than acting as enforcers for a thankless and repressive regime. Just finished reading Cypher, Lord of the Fallen and hoo boy, what a ride. I’m new to Dark Angels lore so forgive me if any of this is obvious.Begin run n' gun hide and seek chase. Through a whole bunch of otherwise innocent Imperial Citizens. Both groups do strikes to feint and misdirect. I actually give the Dark Angels the edge in Imperial Citizen killcount and damage by far. Cypher's ability to coerce others into helping him only adds to the frustrations of those in pursuit. After following such a labyrinthine trail to find them, there is seldom anything of value to be learned from those whom Cypher enlisted to aid his hidden agenda. Cypher has left behind entire cult armies dedicated to establishing new rulers, pirate bands seeking to amass wealth, and far-distant colonies merely wishing to survive the wilderness. Once, he subverted an Inquisitorial death squad –- for only in the aftermath of the action was it determined that it had been Cypher who had slain and replaced the cowled Inquisitor Arnuldus. Further investigations revealed that the Inquisitor, who wore a cowl to cover his hideous injuries, had been slain months previously. In the guise of the Inquisitor, Cypher took control of his web of agents and misdirected the defence of Septius VII –- resulting in the complete collapse of an Imperial Hive World. While the Planetary Governor and his entire ruling system was determined to have been corrupt and unjust, he was the rightful ruler and the planet's tithes had always been honoured. The uprising brought brief freedom to the citizens of Septius VII, before the inevitable bloodbath suppression that followed once again crushed the will of the people under the Imperium's yoke. During several bloody battles during the Escovan Campaign of 989. M41, the Red Corsairs vow to slay Cypher. [5]

Cypher's original jailers on Terra are also now in pursuit of the Fallen Angel following his escape from his Imperial Palace cell in the form of a combined Adeptus Custodes and Sisters of Silence force under the command of the Shield-Captain Daryth.They whisper that it is Cypher's goal to reach Terra, to finally draw forth that sword for the first and last time, using the weapon to slay the Emperor, striking him down from his Golden Throne. An emergent theme of everything that happens is intertwined by design. From the merest chance of a statue falling to kill a penitent lighting a candle, to two decades later the exact thing happening to his son. The cruelest coincidence is NOT coincidence it is design, as will be proven later.

Cypher: Lord Of The Fallen (Warhammer 40,000 Characters

Told from Cypher’s own, unreliable point of view, this tale of truth, lies and secrets sees one of the Imperium’s most mysterious figures make war at its very heart. But what are the true motivations of the Lord of the Fallen? Helbrute • Ferrum Infernus Dreadnought • Chaos Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought • Sonic Dreadnought • Berserker Dreadnought • Leviathan Dreadnought Others say it is a new weapon made of the same meteor that produced the metal for the Heavenfall Blades borne by the leaders of the Dark Angels today. There are those within the Inner Circle that speak of the ebon Sword of Luther, the treacherous sword that some believe slew Lion El'Jonson before he vanished into the Warp Storm.What followed was the worst single incident of losses suffered by the Unforgiven since the Forgotten Wars. Less than a hundred Space Marines from an original contingent of a thousand managed to escape, and they did so only because they pursued Cypher, who, in his attempt to flee, also led them to a secret teleportation device. The Warp Storms that subsided to allow their armies into Darkmor's orbit returned in force. On the planet's surface, the Unforgiven found the world's vast cathedrals in ruins and its populace slaughtered. Awaiting in ambush are armies of daemons, Chaos Space Marines and Renegades. I also would not be surprised if a shard of the Lion inhabits/personifies Cipher. The Lion aged in his novel, having the weight of wisdom but not the memories of events. Wonder where they came from? An elderly human Lord Cypher, who advised Luther and Lion El'Jonson during the campaign against the Great Beasts. He died a few Terran years after the coming of the Imperium and the Emperor to Caliban.
